A. F. PARKER, ESQ.,,
GRANGEvILLE, IDAHO.
Dear Sir: i beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your favor addressed to Mr..
Hill, and to thank you for the informa.
ton therein contained. We have not
yet decided upon any extension west
ward from Butte, but feel that the
pressure of circumstances may force us
to go farther west. Hence, we are col
lecting all the information possible
regarding the country. and are. there.
fore much obliged for that contained
in your letter.
The route over the mountains which
you suggest is probably impracticable,
as, in portions, it would require grade
of nearly 800 feet to the mile. The
value of your region is fully appreciated
by US, and should an extension beyond
Butte ever occur, the matter of passing
through your section will be most care
fully investigated.
Yours respectfully,
w. 2. CLoUGH,s
Assistant to President.
The foregoing letter is an official
declaration that the Manitoba railroad
will not be built westward at present.
Of its ultimate extension into the
Clearwater country there can be no
doubt, and it is indeed foreshadowed
in the letter printed above. We had
hoped that Wizards temperance in
the Northern Pacific would lead to an
aggressive fight for territory on the part
of that corporation which would have
brought us under that system, as we
personally know that Mr.. Willard favors
the scheme, although it is temporarily
subordinated TO the interests of the
stock holders, which led to an alliance
with the Union Pacific, since riveted by
a joint lease of the o. r. & N, and a
division of territory for purposes of
plunder. We see no hope for the cork
to be drawn from this bottle until con-
gress cheapens money by releasing the
surplus in the Federal treasury. With
cheap money half-dozen eastern roads
will build Through to this coast, and
once here they will fight for every inch
of territory they can get.

A Solemn Warning to Over Industrious
Employees, and a Hint to Employers.
In the office of an insurance company
on LaSalle street I saw, the other day, a
young man eating his lunch at his desk.
1t was very modest lunch which his
good mother, New England Puritan,
had prepared for him at home with typ
ical New England simplicity. 1t consisted
of bread and butter-the slices of the
former rather thick and the layers of the
latter quite thin-two hard boiled eggs
and piece of mince pie. Doubtless the
pie was good-all New England minee
pie is--but ! pitied the young man from
the bottom Of my heart. With his glass
of water from the hydrant, his eyes fixed
upon letter before him even while he
munched, his attitude reminded me Of
that of a slave bending over his toll and
eating the crust which his hard task
master had begrudgingly flung him. In
ten minutes the lunch was finished, and
then the young man resumed his labors
with reports, policies and letters.
/ made some inquiry concerning him,
and learned that he was one of the most
valuable employees in the office-earnest
faithful and loyal-and that his services
were appreciated and rewarded with o
good salary, out Of which he and his
mother, good Yankee that she was, were
daily saving snug sum. And yet /

The Grand Old Man Full of Energy, and
VIII Throw His Heart and Soul into
the Struggle - Much Excitement In
Dublin over Father KelIer's Arrest
and Committal.
LONDON, March al.-Ihs government
promises its coercion bill for Monday. The
fight threatens to be big and loud resound-
ing. 1t is Mr.. Gladstone himself, it is under
stood, who will begin the contest. He will
traverse the coercion policy Of the govern

The ''Grand Old Man" is full of fight, and
intends to throw himself heart and soul into
the struggle. He has been nursing himself
for this the last few weeks in q suburban re-
treat at DOLLS Hill, which he has rented for
the purpose, and he is now like giant re-
freshed, in the best of spirits, and from a
tactical point Of view processes himself well
pleased with the situation, but especially
with the position Of the government.
The government is also thinking OF intro
ducing in the house Of lords concurrently
with the introduction Of the coercion bill in
the commons q sort Of emasculsted edition OF
Mr. Parnelrs land bill Their idea seems to
be to manage their land legislation by In
stall ments First they will bring i'll bill
giving the county court judges power to
stay the execution Of evictions, and later
en- will attempt the passage OF their whole
sale purchase scheme. The concurrent in
PRODUCTION of the remedial and coercive
measures will be concession to the fears OF
the Liberal Unionist supporters Of the gov
eminent.
